Jenna + Alex | College Station Wedding
I had such a fun day photographing Jenna and Alex’s wedding in at Aldersgate United Methodist Church in College Station! The love of their family and friends was so apparent; everyone helped out to make sure everything was perfect and went smoothly. The day was full of special moments, from the excitement of getting ready, to the quiet moments before the ceremony, to the first kiss, to the best man’s speech delivered from Kuwait, ending with the super romantic last dance. My best wishes go out to you two… never forget all the love you have around you, and may you have a long, happy, blessed life together!
Adopt A Shelter Cat
June is Adopt a Shelter Cat month! On Instagram, I’ve been featuring adoptable kitties that I photograph at Save A Cat Rescue in Houston. This is one of my favorites of Thom! He’s so handsome 🙂
Also, I recently got accepted to join Hearts Speak, a network of artists helping animals! I love that I can volunteer my talent to help spread awareness, and help animals get exposed to more potential adopters! If you or someone you know has a rescue group in Houston that needs photographs, please contact me!
Schatzi
I have a new little girl! We found her at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. After we finally got in contact with the owners, we were already in love, and luckily (I won’t get in to the whole story) they were looking for a new home for her. She’s a sweetheart, so I renamed her Schatzi 🙂
Shiner Catholic Church Picnic
If you’ve heard of Shiner at all, you’ve probably heard of the beer. Well, there was plenty of that at the annual church picnic on Memorial Day weekend. The little town in Texas was busy with food, music, and laughter, and everyone had a great time.
The Shiner Hobo Band, in my opinion, is the best polka band of all time. They like to polka almost as much as they like to drink Shiner beer.
Rosie
Rosie is the sweetest, most ridiculous bulldog I’ve ever met. If you sit on the floor, she will be on top of you before you know it. She will jump on you begging for attention and snort like a pig while you pet her. Such a funny girl.
Zip Nac
It was a lovely day for zip lining in Nacogdoches! Zip Nac has a pretty cool set-up and awesome guides.
^^Grace graduated from kindergarten that morning! Congratulations, Grace!!
Sadie Mae
Sadie Mae is a collie/lab mix who was rescued from Austin Pets Alive! She has unlimited energy, loves playing with her older cousins, and will try to herd you at times.
Ledbetter Family Bluebonnet Session
I love bluebonnet season!! Here is my best friend’s beautiful family enjoying the flowers in Montgomery, TX. Little Weston wanted to eat the bluebonnets, and even tried to feed them to his parents. We had so much fun with him!
Boots
A little bit of a Throwback Thursday. This is from my first ever photo shoot.
It’s on my NEW WEBSITE: www.christinahardcastle.com

Opa!
The Original Greek Festival in Houston was a couple weeks ago. I had no idea it was so popular. The food was absolutely amazing, and it was a really fun time.
Glutton
For this trip, we skipped the zoo and went to the Koala Park Sanctuary. Absolutely the best decision of the trip; we got to pet koalas, kangaroos, see an entire sheep sheared, and all kinds of things, and it wasn’t crowded at all. It’s family owned and you can tell they really care about the animals. This little guy took the food right out of our hands, and got a little greedy…
From the Top
Some of the view from Westfield Tower in Sydney. Totally worth the price to get up there.

Speed
A train in Sydney leaving the station.
Night Lights
We did the Bondi coastal walk at night (I recommend bringing a flashlight).
Bernice
In Bondi, we rented a second-floor apartment. This cat belonged to the people living in the unit below us. She was always perched outside greeting us when we got home. She looks kind of rude in these pictures but really she was so sweet.
On The Rocks
Sunset on Bondi Beach, taken from Sam Fiszman Park.
Blue Mountains
We spent a day hiking in the Blue Mountains. We went on the National Pass trail. Beautiful, but the never-ending stairs at the end are killer.
Seagulls
I’m still going through my pictures of Sydney, but this is my favorite so far. I love how the wings almost match the Opera House…
Bondi Sunrise
I recently took a trip to Sydney, Australia. These were taken on two mornings at Bondi Beach.
More Australia photos to come!
